...Your band member, Warren Ellis, helped you with the soundtrack. And you have another band called Grinderman that's basically made up of members from your original band, the Bad Seeds. All your projects involve the same people. Why? I have huge trust issues. That's basically it. I've worked with these guys for so long and we understand each other incredibly well, there's a near-psychic thing going on which means I can work incredibly fast. I don't have to explain things or teach anyone anything. It serves me well...
Recognizing that the Beatles were more a vocal group than a Rock Band, the game includes opportunities for three-part harmony, so you can try out those castrati woooos on "She Loves You." (It's as much karaoke as music video game.) The 45-song playlist emphasizes guitar-heavy songs - things the Beatles could have sung live. Some of the most infectious are those early, primitive classics from their first album, Please Please Me, which was released in 1963. As you start playing, especially if you're a novice, you may share Lennon's testy frustration, heard on the earliest...
...turns to a band that made records under its own name for just eight years, at the bright high noon of rock 'n' roll, and broke up nearly four decades ago. Another anomaly: only in their earliest gestation, playing in Germany and in Liverpool's Cavern Club with Pete Best as their drummer, were the Beatles truly a Rock Band.

TIME writer Gilbert Cruz, the only participant who knew his way around the Rock Band platform, took lead guitar. The vocals were shared by TIME Arts editor Radhika Jones, whose father Robert was a folksinger in the '60s and whose mom once dined with George Harrison, and yours truly, who saw the Beatles perform at Philadelphia's Convention Hall in 1964 and for months afterward affected...
...learned that our vocals may not sound as great as they do in the shower or the car, and in the Beatles' instrumental interludes, we may not play their guitar as well as our air guitar. Mercifully, Rock Band doesn't record your amateur Beatling (though an incriminating video of our session will be available at time.com/video) But even if your performance is less Beatles than dung beetles, it's hard not to get into the spirit of the game. Leo told us, "I'm going to be a first-time father at 52 in a few weeks...
